Students Perspective: Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality (CTH, UK) Program at Clique College

Ahmed Siraj Yoonus is a working-student with an ambitious dream. He has been in service in the tourism industry for over three years now, and is presently employed in the Human Resources Department of Adaaran Club Rannalhi Maldives Resort. Years into the future, he hopes to climb up the hierarchy and be a top dog in the field. To do so, however, attaining a high standard academic qualification is of utmost importance. Nevertheless, it was near impossible to remain working at a resort whilst pursuing an education qualification in the Maldives which was pretty much the biggest barrier on the road of Siraj’s dreams. Hence, it was almost a miracle for him when he learned of the CTH (UK) program which Clique College had begun to offer.

Confederation of Tourism & Hospitality UK (CTH (UK)) programs offered by Clique College are designed for students to remain employed whilst they continue to study at the same time. This being a perfect fit for Siraj, he chose to enroll in the program as it offers the highest standard of hospitality, tourism and culinary qualifications of international recognition. Siraj also notes that the program covers a practical syllabus comprising of essential working areas required for the industry which is also befitting to where he is presently employed it. As he is interested in venturing into different areas of the industry, this will effectively broaden his options when he reaches this stage.

Ahmed Zareer, another working-student who shares the same dream as Siraj, stresses on the fact that having the option to study online has influenced his choice significantly in choosing to enroll in the program as it allows him to remain at his island while studying. As a person who has deeply been impacted by the economic downturn due to the pandemic, including facing unemployment, he hopes to complete his course in this time. He is confident that this “gold standard qualification” provider for the Tourism and Hospitality Industry across the world will give him a comparative advantage as a prospective employee when seeking employment later on anywhere in Maldives and even worldwide. CTH programs are partnered and endorsed by so many name-worthy people and companies, may even say, world favorite chef, Gordon Ramsey.

Moreover, employed students can avoid going through the whole learning process again of which they are specialized in by receiving credit for it (only applicable to certain modules).
